THE XLF FLOW SENSOR PACKAGE

For use with IQS Electronic Water Treatment Equipment Controller

REGENERATION CONTROLS
Product Description
The XLF flow sensor package is an input device for the IQS type controller used to measure
treated water flow. Flow data then provides one or all of the following functions:
•repeatedly measure and deliver a specified volume of treated water.
•digital instantaneous flow rate.
•digital instantaneous total treated water usage.
Packages are available for use in treated water pipe sizes from 1 inch through 6 inch. A wide
variety of installation fittings are available to assure compatibility with many commonly used
plumbing materials:
XLF Flow Sensor •Threaded galvanized
•Copper sweat
•PVC; CPVC
•Iron
•Steel

The XLF flow sensor package is comprised of:

•One (1) paddlewheel insertion type flow sensor element sized for the specified
pipe diameter
Iron Saddle •One (1) installation fitting for the specified pipe type and size.

How It Works
The solid state paddlewheel flow sensor
works on a simple, but precise, electro-
mechanical principle. A magnetic rotor
positioned in the flow stream spins past a
solid state switch which in turn pulses a
low voltage DC current proportional to the
Copper/Bronze Tees rate of flow. The rotor design ensures an
accurate, repeatable output throughout the
sensor's entire operating range with
Iron Tee negligible head loss and no cavitation.

Features & Benefits

•Flow range; 0.3 ft/s to 20 ft/s
•Low cost.
PVC Tee •Low pressure loss.
•Ease of installation and service.
•Excellent resistance to corrosion and wear
•High accuracy and repeatability.
•Compatible with most types of piping materials – PVC, copper, brass, galvanized iron and
steel.
•Wide range of temperature pressure and flow characteristics.
Bronze •Low voltage operation.
Brazolet •Tested to NIST standards (National Institute of Standards and Techonology).

Exchange capacities based on treating water containing 10 grains per gallon (171 mg/l) of hardness (expressed as calcium carbonate), free of color, oil,
turbidity and at a service flow rate of approximately 50 percent of the peak flow rate. These are nominal capacities and will vary with influent water
characteristics, water temperature and other factors.
2
Operation of a softener at peak flow rate for extended periods of time may result in a slight reduction of softening capacity. This is due to premature
hardness breakthrough. Peak flow shown is at a 25 psi (172 kPa) pressure loss. Continuous flow shown is at a 15 psi (103 kPa) pressure loss.
3
Brine system shown is optional. Multiple sizes are available. Size shown is size most often selected for the system.

NOTE: Operational, maintenance and replacement requirements are essential for this product to perform as advertised. Specifications shown are for
single models. Also available in multiple tank configurations.
